Short-term exercise before lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if doing exercise before lung cancer surgery can help people with moderate-to-high risk. Participants will exercise for a short period to see if it improves their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have suspected or confirmed lung cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
- Your lung function or exercise capacity is below certain levels (moderate-to-high risk for surgery).
- You can complete a cardiopulmonary exercise test (a standard test of your heart and lungs during exercise).
- You do not have any other current or past cancers (except lung cancer).
- You are able to exercise safely (no major physical limitations like frailty or muscle problems).
